What does that have to do with anything ? He was doing the driving, I'm sure he had a wallet with a drivers license, some credit cards, a debit card and probably some cash. If they stopped in there, I haven't heard anything about it, but it's pretty much the only store around there and they would've traveled right past it to get over to the Interstate.

I find it hard to believe that she would leave her house without her purse if she was on her way to work. IMO

So wonder if this was the exciting news admin referenced on facebook...

It seems like if they would have stopped at the convenience store someone would have remembered seeing them or there would be footage of them in the store. If he was bringing her to work because they only have one car she would have taken her purse. IMO, it seems as if something happened at the home. Was she rushed out of the home?

I can't say what I think because we can't. But, but, but, I still think I'm right. So time will tell. I will read quietly and wait.

I agree with you. It seems like something began, and maybe ended, at the house.

The property that is shown on W Mayer Blvd in the arial and street view image is not owned by Mike Careccia. According to records, the property is owned by the Dugan's and has been since 2004.

Geoff Dugan, Michael’s brother-in-law, has been staying at the couple’s home in case any important calls come in.

“We’ve probably slept maybe four or five hours since Sunday night just running over different scenarios of what could have happened,” Dugan said.

The Maricopa community has come together to help with the search.

“It’s been an unbelievable effort,” Dugan said. “We’re all really grateful for the outpouring support from the community.”

If that's not the right residence, which one is ? Enlighten me.

Geoff Dugan is Michael’s brother-in-law.

Has anyone found anything yet regarding Michael's employment status?

Also, Tina is assumed to be wearing flip flops, if she was going into the dessert willingly, is this something that she would wear? I am not from that area so I do not know what the norm would be for footwear while in the desert. I am from South Louisiana and flip flops are the norm here for work and play due to the heat.

from looking at the fb accounts of the careccias "dugan" is a family member...according to the parcel detail there is an improvement of a non-primary home that i think may be the "home"...but I could be wrong

I wouldn't wear flip flops if I was willingly going into the desert. If she was going willingly I would think they would have a bag with them to hold supplies unless they someone was helping them.

Good questions being asked now. I'll add a few:

What were Mike's plans on Monday? Where was he going? Did anyone make note of his lack of appearance during the day? I'm going to speculate that he was going somewhere that morning. Otherwise, no reason to "car pool". Unless, for some reason, Tina was not permitted to drive. We have no reason to think that though.

Did Tina's employer call around looking for her? Was it usual or unusual for her not to be at work?

Looking at aerials of the Careccia home, I am seeing multiple vehicles. Google street view shown the same. Also worth noting is that it is a fairly impressive house and property compared to the neighboring homes. Almost a mansion in comparison.

I wanted to bring this forward. Do we even have answers to the most fundamental questions in a missing persons' case? I wish we had a VI.

Is Dugan Tina's maiden name? I think her FB link says Tina Perry, maybe that's a previous marriage?

Since Mike and his ex are going through a foreclosure, I wouldn't expect the property to be in his name or even jointly owned.

Marking my spot while I catch up. 😉

Hey Courtney - good to see you! You're going to need your decoder ring for this one.:thinking:

TY for this info!

A. I know this family - my son has known them for more than 10 years. B. This is not all flat desert. It's farm land, washes, canals, mountains. C. They were not in proper city limits. Again, it's farmland outside of the city of Maricopa. D. Only one road going through there is paved. The majority of them are still dirt roads. Please don't speculate as if you know the area. All you do is confuse people who don't know and upset the people who do. Also, from an earlier post, they do car pool because Mesa is quite a trek for them from Maricopa and it saves on fuel. The search is being centered from Raceway Bar and Grill because it's literally the only thing in the area open and has room for them to organize it at. This is out in the country. Not in a city where you can just pick a parking lot.

We live on a country road too. If there is a vehicle parked on the roadside when I go to work in the morning, I pretty much know whose it is, and would remember if it was still there when I drove by it again after work. People who carpool park in the same place all the time.

Is this a rural area where people know one another's vehicles? If their car was unusually dusty then is it possible that they went somewhere early in the morning but returned in time for the carpool?

It was my understanding from articles that I've read that they were not in a car pool with others. They just shared a car.

 

[Davia18]

Would they finger print the car ?
Wonder how the seat was when they found it, close up or far way.
Wonder if there was any type of blood or other fluids in the car.
Does the family have the car or does LE.

 

[courtneyb]

Regarding sharing the one vehicle... I'd really like to know the husband's employment status. I knows many families do it, but it seems to me that it is usually indicative of financial shortcomings or problems.
